State
candidates
on issues
by Barb Kolmodin
Elections to determine state
representatives, in addition to
presidential and congressional
elections, will be held Nov. 2.
Students living on New Cam-pus
are in voting district 48A and
may vote at Valentine Hills
Elementary School, 1770 W.
County Rd. E2.
Old Campus students, district
62B, may vote at Holy Childhood
Church, 1435 Midway Parkway.
People not registered in these
districts will have to vote in their
home districts or participate by
absentee ballot.
Robert 0. Ashbach, Indepen-dent-
Republican part, and Robert
Lashomb, Democratic-Farmer-
Labor party, are vying for the
state senate seat in district 48A.
The candidates were asked to
briefly state the major issues of
the campaign and what, action
they will take if elected.
"First, we must deal with the
whole question of school financ-ing,"
said Lashomb. "Declining
enrollment and increasing staff
costs are the main problems.
Secondly, we must take a hard-line
on the environment — we
can't back down from companies
like Reserve Mining. Finally, the
state hospital set up should be
changed. Patients ought to be
transferred back into the commu-nity
for treatment."
Encumbent Sen. Ashbach said,
"I will work to provide more
openness in government. Some
of the power of the executive
department should be returned to
the legislative branch. I will also
try -to reduce taxes for the
working man."
The candidates for the state
Senate in district 62B are Michael
O'Neill, G.O.P., and Rep. Neil
Dieterich of the D.F.L.
O'Neill said that education and
government institutions have
grown out of human scale.
Problems in land use, energy,
taxes and aging will not be solved
by additional financing or more
agencies. He said we must
identify our basic needs and reign
in extravagant wants.
Rep. Dieterich spoke of the
environment, requesting that a
bill eliminating nonreturnable
cans and bottles be passed. He
said that education should be
uniform throughout the state with
fair state aid distribution. He also
favors property taxes based on
income.
Rep. Walter Hanson, D.F.L.
candidate for the state House of
Representatives in district 62B,
said there should be state aid for
school districts and property tax
relief. Minnesota has 15 percent
of the world's copper deposits
and needs to develop them. In
addition, he wants environment
safeguards and stiff efficiency
standards.
G.O.P. candidate Oscar Goe-dert
said that it is time for new
blood in the system. The present

The Bethel campus has taken
on the role of a "wild game
reserve" due to the efforts of local
community members.
The Arden Hills Sportsmen
Club transplanted about 60 wild
Canadian geese from the Mort
Huber game farm near Bald Eagle
Lake to Valentine Lake one day
this past summer.
"Our club has tried lots of
things in the past, but we never
even thought of catching wild
geese before," said member Ed
Salverda, 646 W. Co. Rd. C.
Huber offered the Giant Cana-dian
Honkers to the college after
the Arden Hills Sportsmen Club
rejected the offer.
According to Salverda, the
Canadian geese mature after
three years and then mate for life.
The species is pressured for
survival because of these perma-nent
mating habits; if either
partner is killed by hunters or
predators, their reproduction is
iost forever.
A "one day at a time" plan of
attack to catch the "tough and
elusive" birds meant a two-day
chase in the sportsmen's figur-ing.
"But I got a wild idea,"
boasted Salverda, "and it took
only three hours to corral the
geese."

Change characterizes this
year's Homecoming with the
departure of the homecoming
hostess and an original variety
show written by students.
The departure of the home-coming
hostess was the idea of
Lisa Vanzo and Dan Anderson,
the Campus Coordinators. The
hostess will be replaced by a king
and queen.
They will serve in the same way
the hostess did, namely to
preside over the events that will
be taking place during the week.

Starting at 7:30 a.m. on a
Saturday in July, 15 sportsmen
watched Huber's stepson Jim
Burton wade into Bald Eagle Lake
in hipboots. They soon discov-er6c.;

give them a run for their money.

geese onto land, they detoured
into a swamp.

mud so deep that we could hardly
see him."
are co-authors of the variety
show. The show's main theme is
the celebration of life, with life
being defined as work, play and
worship.
Through the medium of music,
drama, and sketches, the Chris-tian
life will be shown in all its
variations. Included in the pro-gram

and a take-off on opera. The
opening number, written by Tim,

Tomorrow, the soccer game,

a.m. and the football game,
against Hamline, is at 1 :30 p.m.
The rest of the sportsmen

be doing something." The Honk-ers

up a grassy hill followed by the

The geese flocked, but when
the men dived to catch them, the
black and white birds scattered in
all directions.
That's when Salverda began
thinking "it would take more than
two days to complete the round-up."
Linguist
to speak
Monday
by Steve Parker
Dr. Eugene A. Nida, Director of
Translation Research for the
United Bible Society and perhaps
the most influential person in
linguistics today, will speak at
Convocation next Monday.
He will speak on the Church in
the world and the strategy of its
mission.
Dr. Nida, 61, fluently speaks
seven languages. During the last
30 years he has profoundly
influenced the thinking of lin-guists,
having done linguistic
analysis in hundreds of languag-es,
and worked in almost every
country on problems of language
and communication as they relate
to the understanding and spread
of the Gospel.
His theory of translation, first
published in 1964 in his book,
"Toward a Science of Translat-ing,"
is what he calls dynamic
equivalence.
Instead of word for word trans-lation
Dr. Nida's theory takes into
Then he remembered the 7-
foot-high rolls of wire mesh in
Huber's garage. They used the
fence to circle the flock while five
men grabbed wings. The wild
goose chase ended with a truck-load
of geese hauled down to
Lake Valentine.
Now that the birds have
adjusted to their new habitat,
Salverda reported that the Arden
Hill Sportsmen are building a
higher fence.
"The older females' wings are
clipped so that the males will
return to the area if they fly out,"
he explained. "The fence controls
the scattering of the flock as well
as keeping out the rodents, such
as mink and raccoons. Once the
Canadian Honkers develop a
homeland with open water, they
will stay in the area year round.
"Some of the sportsmen were
still working on the campus last
Saturday," Salverda added, "but I
won't be back soon. I got full of
poison ivy."
consideration a culture's world
view and involves the translation
of ideas. Words are sound which
stand for whole thoughts, he
holds.
Dr. Eugene A. Nide will speak
Monday
Today, most translators oper-ate
on this principle. The method
helps people in one cultural
context to understand what is
being said in another.
Dr. Nida travels about six
months each year working with
other linguistic experts.
When in Greenwich, Conn.,
where he and his wife live, he
writes and works with his hob-bies
of bird watching and cabi-netmaking.
He has made most of
the furniture in his home.
According to Dr. Don Larson,
professor of Linguistics and
Anthropology at Bethel, Nida's
concepts of linguistics probably
will lead to two developments.
First, there will be regular
revision of Bible translations.
Second, with the increased
awareness of cultural and social
differences among people, trans-.
lations will be gear&d to specific
audiences. There will be Bible
translations for Bible scholars,
for new Christians, for those with
limited literary skill, and so on.
Dr. Nida, a member of the
American Bible Society's transla-tion
staff since 1943, was instru-mental
in establishing the United
Bible Society.
For many years, individual
countries, including the United
States, Britain, and Sweden, have
had their own Bible Societies.
Through Dr. Nida's influence, the
United Bible Society was formed
to coordinate the work of these
individual societies.
